Ok, So once upon I had a Thrustmaster RGT FFB pro clutch, and like with everyone else who had one, it has bit the bullet and died again, and I cannot be bothered to repair it for the 10,000,000th time lol. So, I decided, why not make my own wheel as I now have a FFB motor, gearing and a 270°pot plus 12 buttons to boot!
But then as I'm pulling the thing apart I get to wondering... Is it possible?
Things I have;
All the internals and externals from the original wheel ( I'm pretty sure the mainboard still works),
A cheap chinese full size sport wheel (£10 ain't bad ),
A 1994 peugeot 306 dash cluster,
A PS2 Joytech Williams F1 replica wheel (no base) ~ willing to integrate this dash If I can't get the 306 dash to work
Loads of wood,
Maybe an aluminium plate or 2,
And too much time that should be spent racing.
Things I don't have;
Money.
G25 And don't I bloody know it! I got offered the G25 instead of the RGT... I'm such a cheap fool lol.
G27
So, all thats really needed, are some pointers on how to attach an actual wheel to the RGT's boss-hub, how to make new shift-paddles and a sequential stick (the paddles and stick are so cheap, obviously going to be the next thing to break), where to put the buttons and if I need a new circuit (which I could make and solder) I'd need to know what resisters capacitors microchips etc. that would need to be installed with a circuit diagram.
And since I'm very much a beginner with PCB's I'd rather not go that route thank you
